When participating in the Guangzhou Food Machinery Exhibition last year, an old customer who made cured meat pulled our technicians to complain: "Now the labor cost has risen sharply. Ordinary vacuum machines always have three or four bags of ten bags to be reworked." This word pierced our hearts like a thorn. After returning to the factory, a research team was immediately set up to dismantle and reorganize the double-chamber vacuum packaging machine that had been used for five years, and finally found a breakthrough in the transmission structure.
At the beginning of this year, the first batch of vacuum packaging machines equipped with intelligent pressure sensing modules attracted industry attention as soon as they came off the production line. After a trial run by a Shandong company that exports nuts, it was found that the new equipment can not only automatically identify the size of the packaging bag, but also solve the problem of air leakage that is prone to occur in traditional models. What surprised Director Li of the Purchasing Department even more was that the operation interface added a fresh-keeping mode option, and delicate ingredients such as matsutake and ham finally had exclusive packaging solutions.
In fact, as early as three years ago, we began to plan the energy-saving transformation of vacuum packaging machines. I remember that when the first generation of energy-saving models came on the market, a pickle factory in Hunan replaced three devices with a try-and-see attitude. Six months later, the figures on the electricity bill made the Finance Department take the initiative to come to the door and ask for a replacement of the entire factory. Now the latest model has reduced energy consumption by nearly 30% compared with similar products on the market while maintaining the air extraction speed. This is not a small amount for a food factory that has to process several tons of materials every day.
Master Zhao of the maintenance team has clearly felt that the pace of work has changed recently. In previous years, he was busy replacing vacuum pump oil for old customers at this time. This year, when he took the smart detector to the door for inspection, the early warning system of the equipment had already clearly marked the potential problems. "This is what we call real industrial equipment maintenance," the workshop director of the Shenzhen customer looked at the automatically generated maintenance report and gave a thumbs up. The cloud management system we specially developed makes each vacuum packaging machine seem to have an exclusive health file.
Standing in the viewing corridor of the workshop, watching the 20 newly launched vacuum packaging machines being packed into packaging carts, I suddenly remembered the scene when we made the first double-chamber vacuum machine eight years ago. At that time, I would never have thought that our equipment would help Yunnan mushrooms go out of the mountains and Jiaodong seafood enter inland supermarkets, not to mention those loyal customers who have followed us to upgrade. If there is any secret, it is probably to always engrave the words "can it be better?" on every screw.
